Location Facts
Matamoros is widely considered the pioneer in attracting maquiladora investment to Mexico as it was the first city with an established maquila presence. Historically, the market has been geared towards heavy manufacturing, but in recent years, the market has witnessed the growth of the high-tech and automotive industries. Industrial growth in Matamoros is attributed to the city's convenient border crossings and its location on major trade corridors serving the Midwest and Eastern U.S.
